Surviving Mars #5 — Fully-Fledged Colony and Mining Dome
0The Foundation Stage is over, and our colony is now officially recognized as being stable and suitable for human habitation! With positive evaluation we can start bringing in more colonists for labour!
Thankfully, we already have an apartment complex being built, and we'll gladly fill it with people. We need someone to operate the polymer factory, after all, since it's necessary to make our colony more self-sufficient. And we need those polymers more than ever, since a rock concert shattered our habitation dome!
Not to worry, though, if we start producing more oxygen than is leaking, we should be good... for a while.
Polymer factory needs to be staffed, so we order a shipment of fresh colonists. We also need the rocket to go for an expedition, so it's two birds with one stone. And when the colonists arrive they will be delighted to see an art store in their dome!
Then we order another shipment of resources, since we're still not self-sufficient enough. And we use this opportunity to order a machine parts factory prefab as well since a lot of stuff here requires them for maintenance and being able to just craft them is preferable to having to order them each time.
We then move the concrete extractor since it depleted the concrete vein or whatever, expand our storage because we're making a ton of food and concrete that has to go somewhere, and add another fuel refinery since now we use fuel for polymers as well, not just refuelling the rockets.
A micro dome is built (although I would not call it micro with the footprint it has) next to a metal deposit, since we're gonna need to star mining it instead of relying on the RC unit and drones to gather metal for us. All of the surface metals were depleted anyway, so the only way would be mining them manually with the RC transport. I'd rather have colonists take this job.

Colonize Mars and discover her secrets, with minimal casualties.
Welcome Home! The time has come to stake your claim on the Red Planet and build the first functioning human colonies on Mars! All you need are supplies, oxygen, decades of training, experience with sandstorms, and a can-do attitude to discover the purpose of those weird black cubes that appeared out of nowhere. With a bit of sprucing up, this place is going to be awesome!
Surviving Mars is a sci-fi city builder all about colonizing Mars and surviving the process. Choose a space agency for resources and financial support before determining a location for your colony. Build domes and infrastructure, research new possibilities and utilize drones to unlock more elaborate ways to shape and expand your settlement. Cultivate your own food, mine minerals or just relax by the bar after a hard day’s work. Most important of all, though, is keeping your colonists alive. Not an easy task on a strange new planet.
There will be challenges to overcome. Execute your strategy and improve your colony’s chances of survival while unlocking the mysteries of this alien world. Are you ready? Mars is waiting for you.
MAIN FEATURES
* Building a sustainable colony in space *
Building on a planet not fit for human life challenges you to build a smart, functional colony. Bad planning isn’t about traffic jams, it’s about survival of your colonists. You really don’t want rolling blackouts in a city constructed in a place without oxygen.
* Individually simulated colonists *
Each colonist is a unique individual with problems and strengths that influence the needs and behavior of the other colonists. Things can get really interesting if your chief scientists develops alcoholism after one too many long nights in the lab.
* Futuristic Space Dome construction *
Retro-futuristic super structures housing colonists, factories and commercial buildings with their own “neighborhood personality.” Create colonies that value science over everything else, while tired workers drink their pay away at a local bar, or attempt a utopia among the stars.
* Exploration of Mars’ secrets *
Inspired by the classic sci-fi of Asimov and Clarke, Surviving Mars holds many secrets. During each playthrough players may encounter one of Mars’ individually crafted mysteries. Uncovering these secrets might bring your colony great fortune, or terrible ruin. What is that sphere that manifested itself outside colony HUB B, and is it friendly?
* Randomized research tree *
Combine static and random research through experimentation, which allows for a different experience for each journey through the game. Attain new scientific breakthroughs by exploring the uncharted terrain of Mars's surface.
